The Toddler program follows a 5:1 student-teacher ratio. In the full/half day blended classrooms, we have three adults per class: one head teacher and two assistant teachers. In the half day class, we have two adults: one head teacher and one assistant teacher. 

Toddlers enrolled in the Core program for the full day are served lunch catered by Food2You and offered snacks. Children in Before School are offered a variety of breakfast foods. 

Children usually get ready for nap right after lunch, between 12:15 and 12:30 pm, right after lunch. Children use the toilet or they are changed, then they're getting ready for nap with their loveys. Nap usually lasts until 2:45 pm. Then, children are ready for dismissal at 3:10 pm or transition to After School.

At the beginning of the year, most Toddlers have not started to use the toilet. Parents provide diapers for use during school. As children show readiness, our teachers facilitate the toileting process.

In a Montessori setting you have a three hour work morning where kids are working independently working with partners or groups getting lessons with teachers using a list of learning objectives, called a work plan, as the road map for engaging with the curriculum.

Montessori inspires intrinsic motivation and choice, so that students are more engaged in what they're learning from the start because they get to work with peers.  

Part of what makes it possible is the initial expectations and classroom setup, but the balance is also about freedom and responsibility. We expect that students are working at work time. We also expect they're going to take a snack break. 

Our teachers are trying get students into deep learning, that they're engaged and excited and sustain that and they build stamina over time.
